Title: Water supply system
Inventor: PETER LAMBDEN
IPC: E03B11/02
Filed: 2016-02-05
Abstract: A water supply system 1 comprises a water storage tank 2, and a pump 8, wherein the pump is removably mountable in a recess 7 formed in a wall of the water storage tank and, when mounted, is fluidly connected to the tank via a tank outlet (27 figure 5) at the rear of the recess. Mounting the pump in a recess formed in the tank reduces the overall volume and dimensions of the unit as a whole as the pump does not need to be installed alongside the tank. By providing a tank outlet at the rear of the recess; the amount of pipework or the space required for pipework to connect the tank to the pump can be reduced as the pump can be inserted into the recess and into direct engagement with the tank outlet. The pump may be mounted on a tray 10 or skid and the tray may be removably mountable in the recess. The tray provides an easily slidable platform on which the pump and any other component can be mounted for ease of insertion and extraction. The sliding of the tray (and thus the pump) engages and disengages the pump connection. Later embodiments relate to water storage tank with a passage formed through the tank from a front face to a rear face to accommodate pipework, a method of installing a water supply system and a method of installing a water storage tank comprising running pipework through a passage.

Patent GB-2570918-A (GB)
Title: Authorisation method and system
Inventor: YASUYUKI KANEKO
IPC: G06F21/45
Filed: 2018-02-09
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of temporarily maintaining authorization of a user to use a vehicle device (such as a telematics dongle) in a vehicle. An authorization process involves sending a notification from a remote server to a personal computing device (e.g. smartphone) requiring the user to authorize themselves by performing an input into the personal computing device and by performing an action recognizable to the vehicle device. Authorization is maintained for a first predetermined period if the server receives confirmation of the personal computing device input within a second predetermined period from when the notification was sent and confirmation of the recognizable action within a third predetermined period. If not then authorization is revoked. The recognizable action may be turning on the vehicle. A second recognizable action (e.g. turning off the vehicle) may be required within a fourth predetermined period from when the first action was performed. The invention is concerned with stopping the original owner of a car having access to the sensitive telematics data (location history etc.) of a second-hand buyer after ownership is transferred. Accordingly the authorization process may be performed in response to notification of a change in possession of the vehicle/vehicle device.
